Mahomes lost this one 5 ways

[Mr. Wizard]

Too many mistakes by the reaper dammit.

Patrick needs to lay off the commercials, tell his fiancé' and brother to sit the **** down and . He gets paid plenty by the Chiefs to focus on one job.

Wtf are you blathering on about?

Did Andy throw that ill-advised INT? Did Andy stop reading the field? Did he throw a bunch of inaccurate/poorly timed passes in a row? Did he flat miss Kelce wide open in the middle of the EZ on the final drive in reg? Which of those things was Andy's fault? I thought for sure Patrick Mahomes was the starting QB on the field today . . .

Without our SuperQB the Chiefs are just another 9-8 team.
So when Patrick is on fire we are Super Bowl bound.
And when he's squirrely, we're another mediocre team with a lousy defense.

I seriously doubt his 2 hour commercial session on his time off have anything to do with this loss. They adjusted their game plan and played great defense is why the Chiefs lost

Yep.

Patrick shoulders a lot of blame for this one, but this was a total team collapse. The defense had plenty of opportunities to wrap up Burrow, and this was Andy's third postseason loss after having an 18+ point lead in the game.

It sucks, but I wouldn't trade this team for the world.

Yep, for as good as Mahomes is (and was this game early on), from the last play of the first half onward, he's why we lost. It's just that simple.

CJ missed several sacks. That hurt. Think even ingram missed one. Ward played a couple bad snaps. Hill dropped a couple balls.

it was a team effort.

But Spags Defense is pure shit and can only be counted on to allow other teams back into a game.

And the running game is nothing to write home about either.
The holes are there for some long yardage home runs. But they are few and far between from the running back position.
I think Gore had one. Only remember one long run from the running backs all year

Despite our team having some successes we were on life support much of the season. Reid and mahomes made keep work like the badasses they are. But there was always the sense all season long that we were just bandaiding it.

No worries. We have a full off-season to beat our beaters. We will be a way better offense once we specifically focus on beating this specific game plan. Including hard decisions about what WRs and RBs we keep around.

Yep. We had multiple star players who had an opportunity to win this.

None of them came through in the second half.

That was so poorly played from the end of the 2Q it almost felt like an exhibit on what point shaving would look like in real time.

Spags defense allowed just 2 TWO ****ING TDS, PEABRAIN.

otherwise CIN punted, turned the ball over or kicked FGs. The Bengals scored just 24 points in regulation, and one TD was due to Patrick throwing an INT on his own 30 yd line.

Please explain in detail just how Spags' D is at fault for this loss.

It looked like a masterclass of point shaving and following ba script.

Exactly.

What do we always say whenever we run the ball, or play conservatively and it bites us in the ass?

"Why did we take the ball out of Mahomes' hands?"

Andy trusted Patrick today and kept the ball in his hands. And Patrick failed him over and over again.

It's a BITTER pill to swallow. But the fact of the matter is that Patrick lost this game.
